FOOD & FIBER FLOOZIE

FOOD & FIBER FLOOZIE

The continuing adventures of a floozie...

I am a 70 something Yankee, now blissfully retired in South Carolina. My husband spends his time golfing and painting and drawing, while I love all crafts and lots of baking. I sell most of my crafts to raise money for various charities, and my food goes out to lots of my neighbors and friends. Why am I a floozie? Because I am so easily seduced by the next new recipe and/or the next new and shiny yarn or fabric that I see. It's always fun to try something new!
